Default camber and toe

my rear driver side camber is at 0.0 degrees and it's maxed out. toe is fine back to specified range. now how can i fix this problem? i just wanna have it back to normal. any idea what is wrong with it? and car is pulling slight to right side. mechnic said there shouldn't be any tire wear problem so shouldn't worry about it. any suggetions?

also i am planning on lower my s with tein flex kit. should that help or cause any more problems?

have you recently hit something whilst driving? Was the mechanic who looked at it from a tireshop, ie does this mechanic do wheel alignments?
Why was it at the mehanics in the first place?

yea i hit a curb while drifting. that's why i took it to the mech. i think i am going to back there tomorrow cuz it's still pulling to the right a bit. but my concern is is it ok to keep the camber at 0 degrees. also will it harm anything when i put tein flex on. i am assuming putting tein on will actually help cuz it will make it to negetive camber.

If you hit the kerb and are having these problems, then I suspect you bent something and that you cannot do a proper alignment without fixing the bent parts first.

that's kinda what i am trying to figure it out. the wheel toe is back to factory range. toe is suppose to sit at -0.2 degrees but i am at 0.0 degrees and it's maxed out. so any idea what part is bent? all the wishbone and other parts seems fine. at least that's why mech told me. he told me to take it to some other alignment shop to do further testing.
